Technology

Dry.Q EVAP

Dry.Q EVAP combines the industry leading waterproof-breathability of Dry.Q with EVAP, an interior-surface wicking technology that disperses through a network of channels on the fabric so it evaporates more quickly, improving breathability and keeping the wearer drier and more comfortable.

Long Sleeves, Tight at BottomNice jacket. Keeps the rain out, oversized hood, long sleeves are nice. A bit tight around the bottom of the jacket, but that would also keep wind out in harsh conditions.

This produce is good.I put it in my backpack. It is light and durable but I doubt it is good for hiking because after 20 minutes walking to home. I feel wet inside.

Great value high performanceBought this jacket to replace a (not that old) Underperforming North Face, and love it. Waterproof ability keeps me and pocket contents dry even in torrential rain. Pit zips allow for comfort and breathability. Great buy highly recommended.

Doesn't breath very wellI got wet inside this rain jacket just for less than 10 minutes bike ride. Yesterday I have this rain shell on top of my light weight down jacket. Just for about 20-30 minutes walking around downtown, got very wet between my rain shell and down jacket. I didn't even zip it up. It's a nice looking waterproof jacket, but I doubt it breaths enough for casual activities.

Like this better than the StretchI had the Stretch jacket but had a seam go, so I got a warranty credit and bought this instead. (BTW, I know that it is asked not to comment about customer service, but my experience was awesome, just saying). I find this jacket to be more water repellent and still comfortable. It is slightly baggy allowing layers underneath. Overall a great performer.

Good for Working OutdoorsMy husband wears this jacket, and whether he is working out on ships in the rain or riding his bike home from work, the Plasmic Ion jacket keeps him dry. He can even leave the ventilation zips open under his arms without getting wet underneath.

Nice jacket except the hoodIt looks great and feels good. Have not tried it in the rain but looks like it will do its job. Only complaint is the hood. It is lack of side adjust so without helmet it blocks my side vision and I wonder if it stays on my head when against the wind.
